Good morning!
I spent far too much time selecting the featured image for this post, which should go a long way in telling you what a disappointment the Chicago White Sox were this season. Really, there were quite a selection of photographs from which to choose, though I felt this particular one sums the season up nicely while also providing a snapshot into one of the many (easily) addressable problems Rick Hahn and Co. neglected to resolve.
At any rate, now that the season has come to a close for the 2022 Chicago White Sox, it's time for the annual Sox Machine Sporcle Saturday Player Extravaganza™. That's right, it's the week in which I make you try to remember all of the guys you intentionally memory-holed! While there may not be any Odrisamer Despaigne's of the world to remember this season, I'd wager there are at least a couple of names that'll make you blanch. This year there are 44 names you'll need to try to guess, and that number is not so different from past squads:
- 2021: 47
- 2020: 48
- 2019: 47
- 2018: 51
- 2017: 51
- 2016: 50
- 2015: 40
How many can you get? Good luck!

Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- The team's 149 home runs socked is the fewest since 2015.
- By coincidence, this year's team scored 686 runs, the same number of runs scored as the most-recent disappointing Sox team, the 2016 crew.
- Leury García now holds first place over Juan Uribe in most games played for the White Sox by a player from the Dominican Republic, 676 to 672 games.
